Which one would you choose? (1 Viewer)

[eelsrule1990]

Hey guys I know that most of the answers are going to be: "DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO" But i'd really like some opinions on what some other people would do in my situation.

As it is i got a main round offer from UNSW for international studies. I also have the AAA there and i get $4000 for the first year. This was my 2nd pref (first being combined law @ UNSW).

Last night i received a late round offer for Law/Arts @ UWS. Now I never really wanted this course because i dunno.. i really liked the international studies course at UNSW and wanted to do that then eventually law but now i have the chance to do it at UWS.

Which one would you choose?

Intl Studies, followed by Grad Law. Employers will be scrambling over themselves to suck your dick.

UWS is a piss, dont ever go

don't forget your internal transfers

if you got sub 97 but above 95 (intl studies this year was 92.xx? i hope u made it) u only need a 75WAM to transfer

otherwise u culd still transfer but u need to work on that GPA, it won't be easy.

or go for grad law. it's only a year longer anyway

UNSW combined law > UWS combined law hands down

Take the UWS offer, i'm sure you'll make a great Maccas manager.

if i were you, i would do international studies at UNSW and after one year, I would transfer to law degree. this is my opinion, but it is up to you,

My UAI was 89.25 lol but u know got all 5 subject bonus points and another 5 for AAA. So yeah..

You already said it. You were looking forward to international studies but the UWS offer is giving you second thoughts. If you do moderately okay, you can easily transfer into law at UNSW in second year. Don't go to UWS, it's shit.

Are you serious? Pretty sure UNSW law is pretty competitive for transfers, and what do you base UWS being shit on?

 

[kevinx2]

Go UNSW, i love it for all the trivial reasons.

You'll have art and law classes across different campuses with UWS, other than that i can't say much

 

[eelsrule1990]

Trivial reasons? elaborate...

 

[sdcloud69]

Trivial reasons? elaborate...

The prestige and the subjective notions of superiority of course.

Everyone knows if you go to UNSW, you're cool.

 

[kevinx2]

Trivial reasons? elaborate...

Well yeah, prestige and the notions of superiority sure, but i <3 ...

- Modern look of the buildings
- Central Lecture Block
- the colour of the ground/pavement
- The Scienta
- Asian chicks
- UNSW coat of arms
- UNSW font
- myUNSW+ layout/colour scheme of UNSW site
- i can see the UNSW library from my house
- ease of typing "UNSW"
- Omie Jay

In such cases, consider everything you've learnt about both courses at both unis carefully. Then, think about it and then think, what is your gut feeling. Go with that.

Unsw

 

[bekmay]

i would do anything to get that place at UNSW!
go with UNSW, then you can think about internally transferring. A lot of the subjects you would take doing arts/law, you can take doing international studies as well, and if you do well in it the first couple of semesters, you can look at internally transferring.
Transferring across unis isn't as easy as people think..

yeah thats wat im gonna do... p.s. how did u not get in with 88? did u not get subject bonus points at all? I culd've had like 8 but u only get 5 max???

 

[Tully B.]

Purely because I'm thinking about going there when I finish school, I'd go with UNSW. But Engineering, as law doesn't interest me.

And you think internally transferring to law is?

 

[xxstef]
